Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=33147&edit=1 ID: 33147 Comment by: spam2 at rhsoft dot net Reported by: skissane at iips dot mq dot edu dot au Summary: proc_open(): "pty pseudo terminal not supported on this system" Status: Open Type: Feature/Change Request Package: *General Issues Operating System: * PHP Version: 5CVS-2005-05-27 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: things like "open two terminal sessions and become root in them" in the existing comments are hardly helpful because nobody ever should run ./configure make test as root and so whatever somebody proposes needs to work in a completly restricted environment and must not fail in headless builds like distributions and everybody building packages for distribution ones to override are using (sise open buildserver, Fedora koji) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2017-10-08 10:44:04] bwg at briangortney dot com This appears to still be an issue? There are legitimate uses for this, so not sure why it's being ignored? Looks like there's a patch, even. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2014-05-12 11:33:35] gescheit at list dot ru Sadly, but "bug" still present. This code can be used for pty checking: #include <stdio.h> #include <termios.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <pty.h> int main(int argc, char** argv) { int master; int slave; return openpty(&master,&slave,NULL,NULL,NULL); } ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-02-14 11:28:26] justinhead at insightbb dot com You can use basic shell tools to test system pty piping. The following works on FreeBSD 6.0 but you may have to change the names of your pty/tty devices for other unixes. Open up two terminal sessions and become root in both. In the first one type: ping localhost | tee /dev/ptyp9 In the second one type: cat < /dev/ttyp9 Thats it. If pty's are working you should start seeing the output of the ping command scroll by in both terminals. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-07-14 08:57:44] sniper@php.net I'm still waiting for someone to give me a short and reliable piece of code (shell or C) to test if the functionality is present on the system.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-06-20 09:51:30] skissane at iips dot mq dot edu dot au This is not really a feature/change request -- the feature is already supported in the code; the configure system just needs to be set up so the support can be turned on/off. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
